Speaker 1: I needed a root canal, I had a lot of pain, and he came in and assessed it, and he knew exactly. And he said, 'Okay, we're gonna get you in this afternoon,' because he was so concerned for me, for my pain. And he immediately took care of that.

Speaker 2: Every time I'd smile, I was at least conscious of the fact that probably someone's looking at the top of my teeth, because they just didn't fit right. And I've never had a dentist that could make it look right. And I finally went to Dr. Barfield, and it's just perfect.

Speaker 3: I'd rather have six babies than go to the dentist, so yeah, there's fear. I have not had any fear there, so ... they're just, they're different.

Speaker 4: Dr. Barfield, you come, you go, and you wonder if you actually went. It's that painless. And that's hard to say about a dentist.

Speaker 5: And of course I send all my friends to Rick Barfield. My family goes to Rick Barfield, my sister, my brothers, everybody I know, I try to send there. All my kids.

Speaker 6: I want the best for my family, and I think when I'm at Dr. Barfield's office, I get that same feeling from him. I'm more than just a customer, it's more than just taking care of business. He truly cares about me and my family members.

He personally, actually sets a plan for you. He talks about your aspects, shows you your teeth, talks to you about your teeth, kind of explains the situation as you go. Brandy is always doing work to kind of make sure the health of your teeth when she is cleaning your teeth and doing it and they have a number of people who have that skill but when you can smile in a dentist’s office, back to them when they talk and they joke, they take pictures of you, they are sending out tweets, they are sending out stuff. When I have my friends in that office and of course I send all my friends to Rick Barfield, my family goes to Rick Barfield, my sister, my brothers, everybody I know I try to send to there, all my kids but when they are there, in that office, anybody I do it, I get a text or a tweet or something from Rick saying “I’m here with Katie or I’m here with Jennie” and so it’s kind of fun. It always reminds you again something great so you’re not worried ever. The moment you step in they know your name. Isn’t that fascinating that they know who you are and they love you.

My teeth were starting to kind of come together, and my mom actually had... She's 20 years ahead of me. She started to really, her teeth really started to show, so I had inquired about it, and we did the measurements, and I qualified for the Invisalign. It's been a great experience. I'm excited to get my smile back. I can see a huge improvement. The top teeth weren't as obvious, but the bottom teeth were really starting to collapse in on each other, and it was much more obviously, and they are straightening out, and I can see them much more clear. I have room to floss, which is really great. Everybody's so friendly, and helpful, and I've come for years. I think I was 14 or 15 when I started.

I think he was the first doctor I drove to on my own, but I've had difficulty with my teeth throughout the years, and have some crowns. I had to have a crown replaced, and they were able to fit me in kind of on an emergency basis. Then they were able to correct it all, and help me out with all of that, so I've always had really good experience with that. It runs in my family, some weak teeth issues, and so I'd had some cavities that just, I guess, really tore up the tooth. We got the tooth fixed, got the crown on, and it was all porcelain, and so it looks like the rest of my teeth. You can't really tell, which I really like

I've been looking at Invisalign for three or four years, and finally, I just asked the doctor. I said, "What are my options here? I've looked at the Invisalign." I told them that I had the old tinsel teeth braces, and I told them the history of all that. They all recommended Invisalign. They gave me a lot of information, they gave me websites, they gave me stuff to look at and to make my decision.

It really wasn't much of a decision once I saw what the Invisalign braces were. How easily they worked, the different trays and how every couple of weeks you change trays, and this, that, and the other thing. Invisalign, they give you a video that you can watch that's going to show you how your teeth are going to react over the months of treatment. You can see where they work and you can see where they will be. So far, everything has been spot on.

Kandace A. Read Transcript

This was about seven years ago. I started having ... I couldn't open my jaw very much, and I was in college. So there was a lot of stress going on in my life. And, so I came up here and told them what was going on. And they were like, "Oh, you're probably grinding at night. Or clinching your jaws due to stress." So they fixed me up. They molded a night guard for me. I still use it to this day. And I have had no issues since I've been using that, so it's been a life saver.

'Cause I like to talk so ... The jaw problems make it really hard. It's really uncomfortable. You don't want to talk, you don't want to eat. And talking and eating are two of my favorite things so. It's changed my life.

I've always had really sensitive teeth but ever since I've been coming here they really worked with me on how to sustain that issues and fix it. They gave me a fluoride toothpaste that I use regularly. I do get cleanings regularly so I'm able to use that all the time. And it has worked wonders for me. So they'll definitely fix you up here.

I think what sets this practice apart is you become part of the family here. Everyone's super welcoming. And then they take you back, it's always very clean and just, I don't know. There's something about their personalities here. They mesh very well together. They all know each other and you're just part of the family.

I've had a bad smile for many, many years and I've never really liked to smile. So he was able to help me and make it to where all I do is walk around and smile now. A lot of my crowns are very, very, very old, so he wanted to make sure they were up to date with newest whatever you want to say, newest model or whatever, and just basically that a lot of it stemmed around coloring and making sure the smile was a pretty even white across the top. So I'm a very outgoing person, I'm very friendly, right? And I just like to be able to talk and I talk all the time, my husband hates it because I talk way too much.

So now it's just ... I feel like there's a light when I smile. Earlier, before that, before the new smile I was just me, now I'm me with a beautiful smile. So it was just a long time coming. I have two daughters, twin daughters, that are in college, they both need whitening done so I will be bringing them here before they go back to school. So they'll love it here, they're just ... The people are just extremely nice.

I didn't grow up with regular dental care, so that was one of the things. I mean, Dr. Barfield, when I first met saw him 20 years ago he said, "This is something ... Your gums are not good." And it's something that had to be done. And for years I came in ... I didn't come in twice in a year. I would come in almost four times a year. And that was kind of Brandy saying, "Look, let's get your gums under control and get ... "

So I came in and ... So instead of coming twice a year for every six month checkups, I was literally coming every three months. But it was important, and I think the improvement in my gums has proved that they were right about making me get up here.

I've got heart issues in my family as well too, so the whole inflammation thing's been a big ... Obviously if your gums are inflamed then there's other things going on. So I think when I realized how everything was connected with your mouth and your gums, it really motivated me to make sure I was taking care of business.

Definitely, my top teeth were not terribly crooked, but my bottoms were very crooked. He had to do a lot of work on my bottom teeth. We have two kids, and just life is expensive, and it was just making the decision to go ahead and do it was also a challenge because it's an investment. You're investing in yourself. I don't regret. I'm so glad that I went ahead and did it. The process was very easy, and definitely enjoyed the Invisalign as opposed to having just the regular braces that I wore as a teenager.

I'm a professional, and I'm middle aged, and I just really didn't want to have silver in my mouth. At the time, I was going out on interviews, and so on and so forth, so I didn't want to show up for an interview and have a bunch of silver in my mouth, so I chose the Invisalign, and I liked the fact that when you had the trays in you really couldn't tell that there was anything on your teeth. I also liked the fact that you advance your trays every two weeks. If you wear them as recommended your teeth move really quickly. You don't have to be in your Invisalign for as long as you would the regular braces.

My husband compliments all the time. He goes, "Man, your teeth look great." I'm like, "I'm so glad I did it." Definitely, my teeth are not the same as they were when I was young, because as we get older, they just take on a different shape. But, again, I'm really proud of my smile and I get complimented on it all the times.

About probably, six or seven years ago something like that, I'm an older person, and my front teeth had gotten really chipped and just through age and all that sort of stuff. Nothing really wrong with them from the standpoint of cavities, but it was my appearance. I'm not a real vain person or anything but they just looked bad. Dr. [Barfield] capped my front teeth, my upper front teeth and honestly he just did such a beautiful job you can't tell that they've been capped at all.

Then going on to the implants, all of my life I've had trouble with my teeth with being, I think people say sometimes soft teeth or whatever it happens to be but in any case, I've had a lot of dental work that needed to be done. Finally we reached the point where I felt like and Dr. Barfield felt like I really had to have some implants done. Dr. Donnie, who works with him in this office just is the most wonderful person. She did just a fantastic job on the implants. I can honestly say they feel like my real teeth. They have really made a big difference in the way that I can eat and also I'm not self-conscious about a big smile anymore.

I feel pretty good. I'm a smiler anyway, and now I'm really not self-conscious about showing all of my teeth all the way back.

Chuck W. Read Transcript

Initially, I didn't like my smile because of my teeth. I had some crowding in the front. One tooth was kind of laying over a little bit. Wasn't really happy with my smile, but I've been doing a Invisalign for several months now and my teeth have just become remarkably nice. I enjoy smiling. I can't wait to get them off. Invisalign, they're very easy to work with, easy to get off, easy to get on. You can eat whatever you want. Well, pretty much whatever you want, and brushing, flossing, all of that care becomes very easy with Invisalign. When I was a teenager, I had the metal braces on, so I can compare both. The metal braces, the bands, the rubber bands, the retainers, the face bows, everything that you have to contend with with those, the Invisalign are just head and shoulders above that and so much easier, so much easier to care for as an adult. You can pop them in and out when you need to when you eat this, that, and the other thing, so it doesn't create an issue for you.

Cindi H. Read Transcript

I am an older person as I said. And I felt like about, oh, 10 or so years ago, I just felt like my front teeth were not ... they just looked chipped and not badly, but chipped and stained and all that sort of stuff that comes with age. And I was very self-conscious about that. And I found that I had stopped just smiling as big as I have all of my life. And also, then my back teeth, I was having a lot of problems with them. And that's when I had the implant surgery done, and I just feel like having those two things done has restored my mouth to what it was when I was 20 years old and not self-conscious at all about smiling. And I appreciate that, knowing that my implants are there. They're there to stay. They're there for the duration.

I've been coming here for 18 years. I don't think that I would have stayed someplace for 18 years if I hadn't been completely 100 percent happy. I've changed doctors several times, but I've never changed my dentist. So that would be my best recommendation, is that I have felt good about coming here for so long and I can't imagine that they would treat a referral, a newcomer any less than they would treat me, and that is with the same respect for my dental health.

Stacey T. Read Transcript

Like many adults, brushed but flossing was not my thing. And I wore braces as a teenager and of course when back in the day you would have top and bottom retainers and just never wore them. So my teeth became very crooked. And so just something that I wanted to do, but was nervous about starting back up to the dental because I knew that when I went in there I assumed that it would be a whole list of things that would have to be done prior to doing Invisalign and the things that I wanted which was a pretty smile.

So came in and met with Doctor Barfield and he asked me what five things, five things and rated them you know, one, two, three. And so of course straightening and whitening were my first two. And so we did the exam and he said, okay, well I think we can get by with taking care of the cosmetic first and then we'll take care of, I had some crowns that needed to be done. And so we did that and of course the deep cleaning was a result. But there was no, it was never, what do they call it, dental shaming for not flossing. They just kept up with the deep cleaning and got me back on track.

It was not painful at all. And she worked a long time on my mouth, I will say that, but no, it wasn't painful or unpleasant. And when it was over, I felt good about what we had done and was ready to move on to the next procedure.

Jim M. Read Transcript

I just hit a point where I wasn't happy with the way, you know, my front teeth looked. And something I'd actually talked about for several years before I did it. And about five years ago I just, you know, talked to my wife about it, and I just said, "I'm doing it." Because I wasn't happy with my smile, and I wasn't ... You know, I would hide my teeth. And they talked me through the whole deal; what it would be, what the experience would be. And it was everything they said it would me. I mean, I had the temporary, I came back, the new ones fit great. And it's kind of a whole new world. And a lot of people noticed right away, and it's good to be able to smile and have good teeth.

Oh yeah, I mean from the teeth I had before and not growing up with regular dental checkups, I mean my teeth weren't ... I wasn't happy with them. And you know, getting the new crowns really helped. It improved my smile and it made me feel good about smiling again.

They're just good people. And generally a lot of the people I've known that have been here obviously, but even when new people come into play, they all have the same good personality. And they're not ... It doesn't seem like anybody in here is punching a time clock, it's like they enjoy being here. And I've done a lot of appointments right at 7:00 in the morning and some weekdays where in past years I used to come in much earlier at like 7:00, beat the traffic. But you know, they're all here and they're ready to go and it's 7:00 in the morning. And you just know what you're going to get here, and it's just a good experience.

Tom Ditzer Read Transcript

One thing I’ve noticed about going to Dr. Barfield’s office is instead of just approaching it as here’s a cleaning and go on your way, I’ve really been educated about the process and the basics about flossing and basic cleaning but also understanding how plaque build up happens, why maybe there’s more on the bottom teeth as opposed to the top teeth because that’s where gravity takes saliva so being educated allows me to do a better job in the 5 months and 29 days that I’m not in the office so that that every 6 month visit is easy and it has gotten better every time. Every time I go there it seems like they have the same friendly faces at the front desk, I get to deal with the same hygienist, Brandy, every time so consistency is great. You don’t have to re-explain anything, you don’t have to go through introductions, talk about what hurts, what doesn’t, what you like or what you don’t like. I would say overall you leave just saying “wow that was an easy, stress free experience and I have no problems coming back”. I’ve told all my friends about it and I guess as a hockey player with a lot of hockey friends, having a really good dentist is the cost of doing business.

Tom Buning Read Transcript

As a young kid growing up, I think probably around 12 or 13 years of age, I spent a lot of time at the dentist’s office taking care of cavities and so there is a certain amount of anxiety that at that time it created and it is really easy to revisit that when you get back in the same situation. I think the thing I have enjoyed the most is that there is a real sense of discovery on behalf of your caring staff of dental hygienists, assistants and Dr. Barfield to find out if you have those, to make sure you are in the most comfortable situation possible if they are going to do a procedure. Everything from opportunities to listen to the tv or the radio and I’m a fan of the Nitrous Oxide too, just to stay relaxed and it helps me and I’m sure it helps them a lot to know I’m comfortable. It’s a place you want to go to and be taken care of, have the latest in technology available to help you in that process and also a place that you want to go back to. So both of those work together to make a great place because you want that continuity of care.

Tammany Stern Read Transcript

First of all, everyone is always very friendly. Whenever I call they are always very accommodating in trying to work with my schedule which helps me out a lot because I own my own business so time is important. I love the fact that he is open early in the morning and I can come in at 7:00 a.m. and he is open on Saturday which is even better. He is a very good dentist. We have only had a few dentists over the last 35 years and we’ve been with him the longest because he actually makes us understand when we have a problem and what our best options are for our teeth and his preventative care is wonderful. I think that’s why we don’t have a lot of emergencies in our family. Having good dental care throughout your lifetime is very important as you grow older because I think you lose a lot of calcium and your teeth are important and sometimes people get busy and they don’t take care of their teeth so we really like to have good care and he gives the best.

Stephanie Delarosa Read Transcript

I fell on Valentine’s evening and busted my front teeth out and had no choice but to obviously to have something done and the week before I had just seen Dr. Barfield to get a consultation for my wisdom teeth and possibly Invisalign. I love their office and I was like “okay I feel good here like a traumatic experience, it’s going to end” and sure enough I busted my front teeth out. I called them and they were like “come in immediately”. They were so sweet saying you could have called and we would have got you in sooner if we had known and I was there for almost 10 hours for emergency surgery and you would think I was at home, they took such great care of me then and after and till today. So I stand by them, always. Just have fun. It doesn’t always have to be about the scarey procedures or getting your teeth cleaned or having dental work done, they talk to you pretty much the whole time and you basically forget you’re even there. So it’s great, I love them.

Rob Stern Read Transcript

The deep cleaning that I’ve gone through with Dr. Barfield, actually it was my first experience having deep cleanings on my teeth. It was not painful at all. He was clearly very thorough and now I think I’m at a juncture where they feel like they have eradicated any problems that may have existed. He understands that going to a dentist can be traumatic to the extent that he just has a very calming and reassuring attitude. I recommend Dr. Barfield to anybody and everybody who is either seeking out a dentist or even mentions the fact that they have to go see a dentist and that happens quite often. I have sent several friends to Dr. Barfield over the past several years, I believe it’s probably been 10 years that we have been going to see Dr. Barfield and I feel like, not only has every one of them been satisfied but those people have all resulted in additional referrals as well. The standard of care is awesome and he is open early in the morning which is a big positive for me because I like to start my days early. I can get in normally at 7:00 in the morning for my appointments. He is also open on Saturday which is a huge convenience for us. So, all in all, it’s the perfect practice.

Reggie Fuqua Read Transcript

I had partials and they were the older steel type that weren’t very attractive and hard to clean and they recommended more of a modern plastic type of partial that really worked for me. They were understanding that while it was a little uncomfortable and what they needed to do to make it more comfortable and in the end, it worked for me. Once we got the fit right, it was a lot more comfortable, easier to clean and manage and it looked better, it was more natural looking. The deep cleaning, it is a very comfortable feel. Brandy and all the other hygienists do a very good job explaining what they are about to do and what’s going on and one of the things I notice is she is concerned “wow, did I hurt you” and I’m thinking, no you didn’t. The comfort level you are going to get from the office and Dr. Barfield and his team, they are going to make you feel comfortable, they are going to explain, they are going to help you understand what’s going to take place and how they work. You are going to get a better comfort level when you walk into the office but once you meet the team and interact with them, you will feel a lot more comfortable being there. It’s the people that make a big difference and Dr. Barfield, I would say he is an awesome person to work with and to get to know and to be your dentist.

Michael Wolf Read Transcript

The implants I had, I had to go to an oral surgeon first, that he recommended, to do the extraction and of course the oral surgery and then went to Dr. Barfield, which he explained to me what they were going to do, putting the posts in and once I got there with him, the pain was over with, that was from the surgeon. So the process with him, they took the impression, made the crowns, I had a couple of visits and it was done. There’s nothing I don’t like. Dr. Barfield I’ve known for 20 years and I know his family; his parents are my neighbors. I know his wife, I know his kids and he knows me very well. The ladies at the front desk are all sweet and very friendly and professional and we have a good rapport. Brandy, who is the only one I let clean my teeth, knows me inside and out and I have the best experience. I would not go anywhere else.

Lynn Blomquist Read Transcript

I kind of went to them for an emergency a few times but one of them was when I had my retainer break and it was permanent and my dentist didn’t call me back and I hadn’t been using them yet and my teeth were starting to shift. So I went to them and they did everything, they made me a permanent retainer for the bottom that I could take in and out, not permanent, semi-permanent. They fixed my teeth, they cleaned my teeth. They took me from where I was and just went backwards and built me back up to where I needed to be and went forward. So they fixed everything when I went in for one thing and I thought “why would I ever go anywhere else”. I would rather have six babies than go to the dentist so yes, there’s fear. I have not had any fear there so, they are different. Everybody gets along and it flows like a well oiled machine. You just don’t see any glitches in anything that they do so from the second you walk in the door to the second you leave, everything runs perfectly smoothly and just amazingly well. It makes your experience flawless.

Lydia Speck Read Transcript

I never had my wisdom teeth taken out and it has caused some discomfort for me, I do grind my teeth so taking care of those issues has been good but also teeth whitening was very important. I think a lot of people aren’t educated on how to properly whiten their teeth and it causes more damage than good and so having custom trays, having the right type of whitening provided, also even switching my toothpaste, getting those very specific type of directions has helped me a lot. I never have a long wait time which is very important. Every time I go in, they always remember me by name, everyone is very friendly and I honestly just like the environment. I could get my teeth cleaned anywhere but I like going there just because I like the people. The staff at the front is very pleasant, the staff in the back is very pleasant, Dr. Barfield is very pleasant so it’s really nice.

Lee Wade Read Transcript

I’ve had pretty much everything done. I’ve had teeth cleaning, I’ve had whitening done, I’ve had bridgework, root canals, cavities. I’ve probably been going to him for 15 years or more. He is very down to earth. He will let you either listen to music or watch tv, whatever is more comfortable for you. He understands exactly what’s going on with your teeth and goes right to the point and doesn’t waste any time. It is a great place and a beautiful atmosphere. Brandy is very energetic and makes you feel good. If you are in a bad mood going in you will definitely be in a good mood going out.

Lee Herrin Read Transcript

Everyone at Dr. Barfield’s office is very professional, very polite. The charges are always what they say they are going to be and you always know what to expect. Dr. Barfield does a great job explaining what’s going to happen exactly and that’s exactly what happens. They set clear expectations about what’s going to happen and you are able to understand what’s going on, you can’t see anything obviously because you are in the chair but he really makes sure the local anesthetic is effective before he begins and asks you throughout the procedure if there is any pain. So he seems really concerned and that’s important. He’s great, very friendly, he will talk to you about anything. He’s open to engage on any subject. There are some professional practitioners who are a little standoffish but he is very engaging. It’s fun and it is more like a family so I feel very comfortable going there, I’m treated very well and I feel like they value me as a client and someone there even told me they love me.

Joe Booth Read Transcript

It has never been a bad experience with Dr. Barfield. You know I’ve always said that leading up to the root canal is the bad experience because of the pain you are experiencing before you go in. Dr. Barfield is great and his staff is great about it and it has been a very easy process. It hasn’t been bad at all actually. The staff is actually very, very friendly. My wife and my 9 year old go there as well, in fact he doesn’t even go to a children’s dentist. It’s not a cold atmosphere, it’s warm and you don’t dread going to the dentist. It is a great culture there, everyone is really friendly. Obviously they know us, I’ve been going there almost 15 years and I like the attitude and the service that the staff and Dr. Barfield provide.

Jessie Henderson Read Transcript

Everyone there is very professional. They make you feel at home there and Dr. Barfield does a great job with whatever it is when he gets done with your teeth. Once you walk out of there you feel completely new. He is very outgoing and very funny. He is always in a good mood. Every time I’ve been in there he has been in a good mood regardless of what may have taken place that day but he is always outgoing and laughing and smiling and very talkative and I enjoy him. All the people who work there are great. Like I said, they are kind of like Dr. Barfield, very outgoing, very cheerful and I think they love what they are doing and you know it makes it pretty much different versus going to other doctors offices or dentist offices where everybody is kind of dragging. They are very uplifting when you go in there. You can tell they enjoy doing what they are doing.

Hillary Hoffman Read Transcript

I went for a root canal with another dentist and they missed one of the roots or didn’t get it out completely and so the pain obviously was really intense and I had to go back for them to redo it and you talk about a bad experience, that’s pretty bad. I don’t mind root canals, I mean they aren’t pleasant obviously but they make you very very comfortable, again gas is good but they really do, they make you really comfortable and I’ve even had a situation where after the root canal, I haven’t taken any medication, I have felt very comfortable, it’s fast, it’s efficient. The new tooth is ready very quickly and it always fits well. It is a good experience. It was a no brainer when I was looking for a new dentist to come to him because he is just very friendly, very efficient, very professional. The office is professional and I feel at home when I’m there. His manner is very gentle. You never feel like you are in pain when he is working with you. He is ready to stop if you raise your hand and he’s always looking for the best interest of what is best for you. Another thing that I like is that I’ve gone in a couple of times for, I guess you would call it an emergency, and not only will they get you in but he will say “well if you can stick around, I will get it done today” and to not have to go home in pain is a pretty big deal.

Gregory Blomquist Read Transcript

Invisalign was terrific. I’m a guy who has had braces twice as a kid and as I was getting older, my teeth were shifting a little bit. It is super easy to do. The hardest part of the whole process was getting the pictures made before I even started the Invisalign process. Wearing the Invisalign was easy and it took me about 9 months or so to get my teeth back straight. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anybody, especially people my age. Barfield is wonderful. He always has a smile on his face, he always has a joke and always has nice things to say, he always asks about the family and is just a great guy all around. I have the ability to go anywhere, as a physician myself I can go anywhere and see anybody and that shows him and continue to choose him and recommend him because I find that he is just the best in the business. My entire staff at work uses him as well.

Eddie Sinnott Read Transcript

When I first went to Dr. Barfield I hadn’t been to the dentist in a long time because I felt like I had been to the dentist enough for a lifetime and so I had to get the deep cleaning which made me a little nervous. It actually was pretty harmless. I had to go twice and they prepped me for it and I mean, to me it was way less than I expected it to be. And after that I’ve gone back for just cleanings and they are a piece of cake. With Dr. Barfield, you come, you go and you wonder if you actually went, it’s that kind of painless and that’s hard to say about a dentist. It’s not the easiest thing for a lot of people to do but if you have fear of dentists, he is a great guy to go to because everyone is so friendly and nice that you just kind of forget that you are there. I think he likes to know his patients and I know that he knows me, my family, and a lot about what I do and it’s just, to me, you can’t miss.

I have periodontal disease and because of that I’ve had a lot of dental work done so what’s important in my dental care is the treatment in between my periodontal treatments and if I get the proper dental cleaning and dental care, then it actually helps not only my health and well being as far as my teeth are concerned, but also it cuts down on a lot of the aftercare for the periodontal disease. Initially he was so easy to talk to. You know normally when you go to a dentist you feel threatened, frightened and everything like that but he opened up, he actually shared with me my x-ray results, showed me where i had some problems and gave me recommendations and ultimately we got there because he has had to do quite a bit of additional work because of the periodontal disease. I’m very impressed with their office because you can have a 7:00 appointment and get in there early and everybody is bright and bubbly like the day has been going on for hours and typically that early in the morning everybody doesn’t have that personality. Every time you go there the office is always pleasant, it’s clean, best magazines and tv programs. You don’t really have to ever wait very long of anything like that. The office is always helpful, pleasant and easy to work with, even on a phone call and especially in person.

I needed a root canal, I had a lot of pain and he came in and assessed it and he knew exactly and he said “okay I’m going to get you in this afternoon” because he was so concerned for me and my pain and he immediately took care of that. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, it was more my fear. They do offer the gas and that just really makes you calm and then of course the medicine afterwards, the antibiotics, everything was taken care of. There was nothing I needed and I left pain free. He is the only one I would ever go to. I would not go to anyone else in Dallas because he and his staff have been everything that we wanted in a dentist, for me, our three children and my husband. It really is a family unit and I would recommend him above and beyond. From the minute you walk in, as I’ve said, until I leave, it is a full service and I feel welcomed there and I feel taken care of.

Right after I had been visiting him, I had a below the gum cleaning, I had never had one of those in my life and as I said, I’m a little fearful of going to the dentist so that actually helped me as far as my dental health. They were able to identify some issues I was currently having and I think that by having that below the gum cleaning, it also helped avoid some possible future issues that I may have had. When I had my root canal, I was extremely pleased that he took the time to explain the entire process and it started off more of “okay we are going to go with a crown, however, it could evolve into a root canal and if we do have to do that, here are the additional steps or procedures”. If I had any follow up questions he was available. I do know that I had a little bit of pain even after, I guess the normal period, so when I called him, he was like “come right in” and that impressed me because I know with my other physicians or doctors, it’s rare that you call and they say to come right in and we’ll see you. I want the best for my family and I think when I’m at Dr. Barfield’s office, I get that same feeling from him, I’m more than just a customer, it’s more than just taking care of business, he truly cares about me and my family members.

I had my front teeth knocked out in basketball in high school and I have had three capped and one false tooth for years. Every time I smiled, I was at least conscious of the fact that probably someone’s looking at the top of my teeth because they just didn’t fit right, the metal that attached to the roots, you could see it. It was embarrassing sometimes but I was always self conscious of it and I never had a dentist who could make it look right and I finally went to Dr. Barfield and it’s just perfect, they are just perfect. They look like absolutely natural teeth. No one knows so I smile a lot more. If you want to cure a problem you’ve had for 30 years, Dr. Barfield is the guy to go to. I definitely recommend Dr. Barfield. He is friendly, he’s professional and the main thing is he’s very, very good at what he does. All the dental work I’ve had from him is just the best I’ve ever gotten.
